All businesseses no matter the size will need to comply with fire safety law. The main law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 or ‘the Fire Safety Order’ which applies across England and Wales.
The Order applies to virtually all buildings, places and structures other than individual private dwellings e.g. individual flats in a block or family homes, and it is your responsibility to make sure your workplace reaches the required standard and employees are provided with adequate fire safety training. Other places covered by the Order include shared areas (entrance, stairs etc.) of homes of multiple occupation (HMOs) and common parts of blocks of flats and maisonettes.
An FRA is required to ensure any fire risks are identified within a business and ensures that people are kept safe. It must be carried out regularly and a written record of each assessment must be kept.
Am Fire Safety & Testing can help to ease the responsibility and pressure of such a task by completing the risk assessment for you ensuring that your people are safe and business is compliant with regulations.
